Nicholas Calabro

Member since January 2025 Key West, United States

Background: Operating a 16' Dolphin Super Skiff Flats boat, Capt. Nicholas ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Key West, Florida. Target the beautiful backcountry flats, whether you prefer fly fishing or spin fishing I've got you covered. Nicholas broke into the fly fishing world in 2013 as a trout fishing guide in West Yellowstone Montana. In the winter of 2016 he packed his bags and set his sights on guiding the salt water flats of the Florida Keys. Nicholas spent the next few winters studying the water of Lower Keys in search of bonefish, permit, and tarpon. Landing a part time job at The Angling Company fly shop in Key West, he had the opportunity to learn from the best anglers and fishing guides in the community. In 2020, Nicholas made the transition to guiding full time. Nicholas has an infectious and encouraging enthusiasm for fly fishing and instruction, which makes him truly stand out from other guides in the area. Nicholas continues to spend July through October guiding for trout in Montana, where in his free time he enjoys fishing, camping, and mountain biking in the Yellowstone area.
Techniques: You can find me sight fishing the backcountry flats of the Florida Keys. I enjoy poling my skiff along endless mangrove islands and vast backcountry flats. Some of my favorite fishing experiences are wading after tailing bonefish, belly crawling in search of shrimp in ankle deep water, or casting my fly rod to rolling tarpon at sunrise.
